We are pleased to present the latest edition of CRA’s IP Literature Watch. This issue contains pieces on antitrust & IP, licensing, litigation, innovation, law and policy, copyright, and trade.
Some highlights from the issue:
- An essay analyzing whether generative AI’s use of copyrighted materials will be defendable under the fair use doctrine, and exploring its future under licensing requirements;
- An article offering an alternative theory of invention for unexpected discoveries that recognize the practical realities of modern science, to allow those seeking to patent unexpected discoveries to obtain, maintain, or enforce patent rights; and
- An article arguing that copyright law’s ideas/expression of distinction is inadequate to the task of determining copyrightability of style, and proposes a new way grounded in aesthetic philosophy and a much-derided precedent.
